land plants, animals)3,4,5,6,7in Late Neoproterozoic time (1000–541 Ma) leading to the development of our own ACC was a consequence of a prolonged and profound transformation of Earth’s global tectonic regime from single lid to plate tectonics (“Methods”). This time period is character...
sustained locomotionLocomotor performance is linked to fitness and health of animals and is expected to be under strong selection. However, interindividual variation in locomotor performance is pronounced in many species. It was our aim to investigate the relative importance of energy metabolism and ...
You are thinking in quite the right direction. Yes, monkeys have tails, cats have tails, and dogs have tails, which is a body part of theirs that extends from the back of their body. In most animals, their tails are the extensions of their backbone. Now you may wonder if we have a ...
Risk can be uniformly distributed if hiding structures are missing, for example if predators are the same size and locomotion type as their prey [11] and prey cannot effectively hide. Further, risk can be uniformly distributed if structures are uniform in a scale relevant...

A factorial correspondence analysis showed a highly significant relationship among individual animals, behavior, and experimental design. Behaviors such as locomotion, repeated pacing, vigilance, and grooming more often occurred before enrichment, whereas exploratory and food behaviors were more often ...
aWhen the first public railway was opened between Stockton and Darlington in 1825, it was his engine, called Locomotion, that pulled the first goods train in the world, with a few passengers on board 1825年当第一条公开铁路被打开了在Stockton和Darlington之间,它是他的引擎,在船上称Locomotion,在...
In our previous work, we showed that ethanol (EtOH) potentiates 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)-induced hyperlocomotion while protecting against its hyperthermic effects. Whereas the effect on activity were found on all days (although declining over the three first days), the protection again...
3. In Sri Lanka, the starch obtained from the seeds is used in cakes. ADVERTISEMENTS: 4. Soft young leaves of Cycas are used as vegetable also in some parts of the world. 5. Seed of some species of Cycas are used as fodder for animals. ...
These experiments demonstrate that when Nile rats have running wheels, their increased nocturnal activity is associated with an increased suppression of locomotion in direct response to light. It is possible that changes in masking responses to light may be an essential and integral component of ...
